I don't remember the last time I updated this thread! There's been so much change recently that I thought it was the least I could do :D
This is what I remember doing to the car since my update:
-US N/A front lip
-New DDI dials and chrome rings to suit
-Changed most of the red interior lights to green (got more to do but it's whenever I can be bothered)
-Cleaned out the whole fuel system as part of the massive trial and error I'm doing in regards to my seldom hesitation issue (plus a new oil pump, various filters, MAF...)
-New wheels, obviously lol... (Schmidt Modernline 16x7.5 front and 16x9 rear, 205/45's all round)
-Deleted wheel arches
I've got lots more planned. One of my 'plans' came out of the courier's van yesterday morning, and is now sitting in the lounge room patiently awaiting installation...... :)

Tis a new catback magnaflow system. Made to fit for the mk3 - stainless steel, mandrel bent, 2.25" system with dual 3" chrome polished tips. Should tuck into the body a lot better and I can get rid of my exhaust which was never installed very well (the good bits will be up for sale shortly).
Got an order from GAP coming with a replacement for EVERYTHING in the coolant system, incl silicone hoses; there's a sensor coming too to see if it fixes my hesitation problem.
As for plans that HAVEN'T been put into action yet - well, I'm not gonna give ALL my cards away but the next few purchases should include 25mm front/28mm rear swaybars and coilovers.
There's hopefully a LOT more to come so I'll update when things happen...stay tuned. :)
Exhaust looks nice. 2.25" full system sounds tits too.
Any ideas on coilovers? Will they help cure any scrubbing still going on?
Nah, they're just so I can go lower and have a bit more adjustment. FK konigsports are the go at the moment, but that's not 100% yet.
Oh!
I also ordered some camber shims for my rear wheels (because I got defected lol) and I might have the guards pumped sometime if the camber isn't enough :)
The joys of having a job my man...
looking very nice. Whats a magnaflow kit like that cost if you dont mind me asking?
Where do you get them too, full kits I mean, I know GAP sells full systems?Quote:

Just be aware that your inner clearance from strut to wheel will be reduced with coilovers because the spring will sit lower.Quote:
